Easy enough if you're in the EU, where we have laws about this sort of thing.
That seems... impractical for a lot of use cases.

It can't be. Try to upload some hi-res photo and then download it from FB. Now check the resolution of that downloaded photo.
I learn to quit facebook very early days. I don't like the privacy violations or that big brother spying you feeling. Also account deletions are happening to everyone who talk against facebook. Crooked as google. Both really disappointing services all the way. People, please use alternatives

This oft quoted adage also applies: 'If you are not paying for the product, then you are the product'. The author seemed t…
Every person I've known to have their FB account deleted also happened to be people who posted inflammatory, toxic content on a daily basis. most of them also acted that way in PMs with people, but on an even more terrible level. Harassment level conversations, and probably a much larger scope than I was directly aware of. I am not at all convinced that Facebook just deletes accounts for no reason. Sure, high-profile…
